Upgrade joda-time 2.10.13 → 2.14.0

[devin-ai-integration]

Summary

Version-only bump of joda-time to the latest stable 2.x. No Joda → java.time migration (explicitly out of scope).

Coordinate diff

 // build.gradle
-implementation 'joda-time:joda-time:2.10.13'
+implementation 'joda-time:joda-time:2.14.0'

Also updated the stale version reference in .agents/skills/java-engineering-excellence/SKILL.md (dependency table row for joda-time).

2.14.0 (published 2025-03-29) is the newest non-prerelease release on Maven Central; it targets Java 5+ bytecode, so it is fine on the Java 11 / Spring Boot 2.6.3 ceiling.

BOM / ext override

None needed. The Spring Boot 2.6 dependency-management plugin does not pin joda-time, and nothing else in the graph requests it, so the declared version wins unmodified.

dependencyInsight evidence

$ ./gradlew dependencyInsight --configuration runtimeClasspath --dependency joda-time:joda-time
joda-time:joda-time:2.14.0 (selected by rule)
joda-time:joda-time:2.14.0
\--- runtimeClasspath

$ ./gradlew dependencyInsight --configuration testRuntimeClasspath --dependency joda-time:joda-time
joda-time:joda-time:2.14.0 (selected by rule)
joda-time:joda-time:2.14.0
\--- testRuntimeClasspath

Single version on both classpaths, no conflict-resolution downgrade.

API migration

No source changes needed. grep -rn "org.joda" src/ returns 17 files using only org.joda.time.DateTime, org.joda.time.DateTimeZone, and org.joda.time.format.ISODateTimeFormat — all unchanged across 2.10 → 2.14 (that range is additive: new TZDB data, Instant/Duration conveniences, no removals or renames in the used surface).

Gate

$ JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64 ./gradlew clean test spotlessCheck -x jacocoTestCoverageVerification
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

	tests	failures	errors	skipped
baseline (main @ 3037fa5)	68	0	0	0
this branch	68	0	0	0

spotlessCheck green; spotlessApply produced no changes.

Pre-existing on base, not addressed here

• jacocoTestCoverageVerification fails with instructions covered ratio is 0.33, but expected minimum is 0.80. This is identical on untouched main (recorded in the phase-0 baseline) and CI excludes the task (./gradlew clean test -x jacocoTestCoverageVerification). Threshold not lowered, no coverage-padding tests added.
• Selenium E2E tests (src/test/java/io/spring/selenium) run under the separate seleniumTest TestNG task and are not part of this gate.
